“Hmm, very smart.” Wang Che looked at the green caterpillar in satisfaction.
“…”
In the next week, Wang Che trained the green caterpillar to learn the new move, Insect Concealment.
It was very smart. Under Wang Che’s serious and careful guidance, it completely learned it on the seventh day.
However, when it learned it that day, there were a few small bumps on the green caterpillar’s head.
Of course, with the green caterpillar’s physique, it quickly recovered.
It was very grateful to Wang Che and wanted to thank him personally many times, but they were all resolved by Wang Che’s kind smile.
Coupled with the snacks and the story, the green caterpillar’s and Wang Che’s life contract steadily increased.
This was what they called a friendly human and pet relationship.
It took half a month.
After learning Insect Concealment, Wang Che began to let the green caterpillar learn the grass-type hundred-year core soul skill, Energy Bomb.
Unlike Insect Concealment, the Energy Bomb had already existed in its soul power sequence due to the Rainbow Deer King’s teachings.
Simply put, it already knew how to use it in its mind, but its body could not use it yet.
The difficulty of learning was much lower.
However, because it was a different type, the green caterpillar was very unfamiliar with the use of grass life force.
It was the same as the Raging Flame Strike.
This would take time.
Wang Che was not anxious.
Half a month had passed. Wang Che brought the green caterpillar and planned to participate in the silk competition.
The location of the Spit Thread Competition was in a city beside Skyheart City.
Because it was not far, it took less than an hour to board the transcity hover train.
After arriving at the destination, they arrived at the commercial building where the caterpillar timetable was based on the address on the invitation.
To participate in the competition, one only needed to write down simple information about soul pets and Contract Soul Masters and wait.
For example, species, age of cultivation, how long it had been born, etc.
“There are so many people!”
Wang Che looked at the dense crowd.
The reward was indeed rich. Once chosen, the monthly remuneration from Silkworm Fashion would be fixed at 30,000 to 50,000.
Then, it was a soul skill secret carving.
At the same time, they would also buy the soul pet insurance and other benefits.
Of course, the insurance here referred to: Medical insurance, work injury insurance, reproduction insurance, cultivation insurance, and lifespan insurance.
The benefit referred to the Soul Society’s provident funds.
The soul realm was the most important place for soul pets to live in the future.
When a Contract Soul Master awakened their martial soul, the soul pet would condense a soul ring and attach it to the Contract Soul Master.
At this moment, the soul ring would form a soul realm within which the soul pet could live.
In the soul realm, soul pets could train, play, and train. They could quickly heal injuries and accelerate soul power cultivation.
With the agreement of the Contract Soul Master, they could also invite their other companions to play together.
Most importantly, it could decorate the room with all kinds of soul-conducting furniture.
It was equivalent to a soul pet’s home.
Of course, a large amount of money was needed to set up this home…
Ordinary Contract Soul Masters and their soul pets wouldn’t consider it.
It was fine as long as it was livable.
This was because the soul realm had many effects.
The soul-conducting furniture only increased these effects on this foundation.
Moreover, soul-conducting furniture was too expensive to afford.
The Soul Society’s provident funds could replace money to purchase various rare and gorgeous soul-conducting furniture that had practical uses.
This would establish a comfortable living environment for soul pets…
The use was obvious.
In modern society, the population was not dense because soul pets did not occupy the space of humans.
At the same time, every war zone was also very vast. The houses were very cheap and everyone could afford them.
However, as long as it was related to soul pets… mm… they were all rather expensive.
“There are so many people, but they only have one bug type soul pet… this competition is very difficult.”
Wang Che shook his head.
The requirements of the competition were not complicated.
Using soul pets to compete, one only needed to pass three rounds.
Those who could successfully pass the three stages would directly sign the contract.
It sounded simple.
Wang Che estimated that they could eliminate most soul pets in the first round…
“There are only three stages? It’s that simple?”
“There are only two signed contracts… We have at least 200 to 300 people here!”
“I’m afraid that’s not enough, right?”
“…The three stages should not be simple… I’m afraid it will be very difficult…”
…
Wang Che saw many bug type soul pets at the scene.
There were many bug type soul pets.
However, not everyone knew how to spit silk.
They were mainly silkworms and moth butterflies.
There were not many other insects that could spit silk.
Wang Che saw at least twenty green caterpillars.
Their cultivation levels were all above a hundred years.
They were all huge.
The green caterpillar’s size increased by one centimeter every year at the hundred-year soul power cultivation base and below.
For the stages above a hundred years, it would grow by one centimeter every ten years.
After reaching a cultivation of more than a thousand years, it would only grow a centimeter every hundred years.
The green caterpillar’s official name was Green Worm. However, because it was born furry, it was very cute.
It was also called a green caterpillar. However, after growing and cultivating, its fur would gradually disappear.
“Everyone, my name is Mi Xue. I’m the person in charge of this competition. After you fill in the basic information and prepare, please follow me to the competition venue.”
The person in charge from Silkworm Fashion was a pretty lady.
Her soul pet was also an extremely cute Bamboo Moth, the evolution of the White Enamel Silkworm.
There were many such soul pets present.
The young lady brought everyone into the Silkworm Fashion Building and arrived at the underground floor where the competition was held.
“There are three stages in the competition. The first stage is the 30-meter long fence pit in front.”
The lady smiled and pointed ahead, “For this round, you need to use your soul pets and Spit Thread to bring you over. Remember, you can’t use the power of your martial souls. You can only rely on your soul pets’ Spit Thread soul skill.”
This underground floor seemed to be a training ground.
There was a lot of equipment and many pretty girls wearing fashionable clothes around.
They were all employees from Silkworm Fashion.
Everyone had a standard Bamboo Moth.
“30 meters? Flying over with Spit Thread? Not to mention flying over, just spitting out 30 meters of thread can make my White Enamel Silkworm stop breathing on the spot.”
“You’re making things difficult for us green caterpillars!”
“Isn’t this too difficult? It’s just 30 meters long, but can it spit out such a long thread in one breath? Just its soul power alone is at least a thousand years old. It might not be able to do it.”
“I was wondering why the benefits were so good… Is the first stage so difficult?”
“Are you doing special soul pet training? What’s the use of a soul skill like Spit Thread?”
…
Many people cursed.
Few people would specially train a basic and low-level soul skill like Spit Thread.
Many people came with the intention of trying.
They did not expect to be stumped in the first round.
Moreover, they had to fly over with their soul pet.
This was even harder.
It was basically impossible without training.
Wang Che glanced at the green caterpillar. Not every green caterpillar could become Spiderman.
Soon, the Contract Soul Masters began to try.
Then, it left at the speed of light.
In the end, only less than 30 Contract Soul Masters barely passed.
Ninety percent were eliminated in an instant.
The reason it was barely passable was that these Contract Soul Masters’ bug type soul pets had soul power cultivation of at least thousands of years…
They relied on their high cultivation base and soul skill to barely fly over.
There were a few who almost fell off when their threads almost broke in the middle.
However, they reacted in time… and used Spit Thread again.
The girl in charge shook her head.
“Student, you’re the only one left. Do you want to try?”
She looked around and saw that only Wang Che was left. She smiled, “But your green caterpillar is a little young.”
If it was an ugly person, she would have dissuaded him.
Wang Che carried the green caterpillar and walked forward.
“Then let’s try.”
The lady was slightly stunned. She thought that he would leave immediately. After all, there were so many examples before him.
She did not expect him to be so brave.
